Based on your information, you likely have a prescriptive easement and/or easement of necessity. Both are recognized property rights, but you need to assert them in court in order to legitimize them since no formal easement was ever recorded. Alternatively, you could attempt to negotiate an easement settlement with the adjoining landowner in order to avoid court.

I routinely handle such easement matters and would be happy to discuss your case with you. Feel free to contact me at your convenience.
